HISTORY

The Advanced Electrolysis Training Center was originally established in 1995 as a training center offering workshops for practicing Electrologists, who wanted to improve their technique, learn new techniques and earn continuing education hours. 

The Training Center expanded in 2003 by Cindy Cassady, to offer advanced education on a beginner’s level, after seeing a great need for proper instruction in the beginning of the Electrologists career.  The State Board of Nonpublic Career Education, Department of Education, licensed the facility.  The name was changed to Cindy Cassady School of Electrology in April 2005.

Cindy Cassady, C.P.E. has been practicing Electrology for over 29 years.  She studied at the California Institute of Electrology under Claire Lofgren and the A.R. Hinkel School of Electrology.  She was instructed by John Fantz who is a leader in the Electrology industry and is very well known and respected nationwide.  This is where she not only perfected short wave and multi-needle electrolysis but also mastered the newest needle-type modality, the “blend” technique.  Ms. Cassady was Director of Electrolysis Services at a very popular skin care salon where she built an outstanding and steady clientele.  She is a long-standing member of the American Electrology Association and the International Guild of Professional Electrologists.

Beginnning January 2010, the school is beginning their first facial specialist program is beginning January 7, 2010.  This decision to expand was based on the high volume of request ,to attend our program when added ,by previous students who completed  our Electrology program as well as individuals in the community and surrounding cities who were seeking high quality education, small class sizes and experienced instructors who were familiar with the ever changing knowledge in this wonderful and exciting industry of Skin Care.

PHILOSOPHY

Cindy Cassady School of Electrology, Health and Beauty, Inc. is dedicated to those who wish to enter these rapidly growing professions.  This school prepares technicians in all needle-type modalities accepted and approved by the State of Florida for the Electrology program. Students use a variety of electrolysis equipment and receive personalized training.  The facial Specialist program teaches manual facials as well as facials accompanied by equipment designed to use different modalities for different effects.

Small class sizes give the opportunity to learn the maximum amount of information and obtain close, professional supervision.  Plenty of hands-on time is available for top perfection. 

The need for properly trained Electrologists and Facial Specialists is greatly needed, to serve our community at a time when electrolysis and facials are  increasingly in demand.  Men and women are seeking relief from the excessive and unwanted hair growth so many are inflicted with today along with help slowing the aging process and maintaining healthy skin.

Electrology and Skin Care are demanding, exciting, and rewarding professions.  Many Electrologists' and Facial Specialist'  prefer to open their own practice while others opt to work in day spas, skin care clinics, with dermatologist or other health care providers.

Attendees of our School can feel confident that they have been trained with the latest equipment and techniques in this field.

OWNERSHIP

Cindy Cassady owns Cindy Cassady School of Electrology, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Florida.
